Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie has been many things to many people. To some, she's a candidate for canonization, highly respected for her humanitarian work in war-torn areas and her decision to adopt three of her six children from developing countries. To others, Jolie is a champion of women's health issues, having written extensively about her decision to undergo preventative surgeries to reduce her cancer risks. She and husband Brad Pitt are one of Hollywood's most powerful couples. Though beloved by millions, not every Tinseltown star adores Jolie. Let's consider some celebs who are not members of her fan club.
1.Jennifer Aniston
Okay, this one is low hanging fruit. Aniston was married to Pitt when he was filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) with Jolie. This is the movie where Brangelina was born and where the co-stars admit they grew close. Team Aniston vs. Team Jolie was legendary; marketers even made t-shirts. While the actresses had nothing to do with that pop culture nonsense, Aniston did admit to Vogue that Jolie's comments about rushing to work to be with her co-star "were uncool." Aniston also confirmed what felt obvious—that Brangelina happened behind her back. Referencing Jolie's own Vogue interview about Pitt, Aniston said, "There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening. I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss."
2.Chelsea Handler
"Demon." That's what talk show host Chelsea Handler called Jolie on Watch What Happens Live (via Us Weekly). Even for a comic as acid-tongued and sarcastic as Handler, the jokes seemed serious. Handler insisted her disdain was not about Jolie's alleged crimes against Aniston, saying, "It has nothing to do with Jennifer. As a woman, I know when you see somebody walking across the room that's a bad girl. I just don't like Angelina Jolie. I don't think she's a girl's girl. I like girl's girls!" Handler called Jolie a "homewrecker" and other names not suitable for this publication. She said the Maleficent (2014) star "doesn't strike me as someone I would have a close friendship with."
3.Scott Rudin
You may not know producer Scott Rudin by name, but you've probably seen his films. His work includes Clueless (1995), The First Wives Club (1996), Team America: World Police (2004), No Country for Old Men (2007), and The Social Network (2010). In the great Sony email hack of 2014, his harsh criticisms of Jolie, which were not meant to be seen by the actress, were published for the entire world to read.
Rudin was miffed that the actress was supposedly trying to convince David Fincher (pictured above) to direct her Cleopatra film when Rudin wanted Fincher focused on his Steve Jobs (2015) biopic. "I'm not destroying my career over a minimally talented spoiled brat who thought nothing of shoving this off her plate for eighteen months so she could go direct a movie," Rudin told then-Sony president Amy Pascal (via the New York Daily News). "I have no desire to be making a movie with her, or anybody, that she runs and that we don't."
Wow. That's what we call "zero subtext."
